FlexJobs’ annual top 100 companies list is based on an analysis of over 40,000 companies and their telecommuting job posting histories in FlexJobs’ database during 2015. To be considered, companies had to offer a telecommuting-friendly component to some of their jobs, such as an arrangement to telecommute entirely, or part of the time, as an option.

"The computer/IT field has historically been a leading career area with opportunities for telecommuting and remote work options, which isn’t surprising given the technology it takes to support remote work options. On the other hand, medical and healthcare jobs are newer to the scene, but in the past decade have shown remarkable growth with work flexibility and telecommuting,” said Sara Sutton Fell, founder and CEO of FlexJobs. “While these industries represent the the top two categories, it’s important to keep in mind that there are opportunities for remote jobs across almost all careers, such as marketing, legal, government and education,” she concluded.

Dell, Deloitte, Apple and SAP are among companies hiring for variety of remote positions in the computer/IT industry. Some current work-from-home jobs in computer/IT include: software architect, IT analyst, developer, programmer and security engineer. Remote jobs in the healthcare industry include pharmacist, nurse, case manager, coder, and medical network manager, with companies such as UnitedHealth Group, Humana, Anthem and CVS Health hiring.
